Merci Christophe! it works, I will make sure to learn properly this version before the next big step! Although I am very novice in this type of technology, I'm not sure about what's freeware and free software... Sorry if I hurt somebody, but I am so greatfull that it is free, and so greatfull that hopefully, millions of people can devellop a new conscience by visiting our galaxy in such mode...
Cheers man!

You're welcome Seb.
By the way, since as I understand you're French, watch next week's episode of NCIS on M6, it's episode 22 of season 4 "Dans l'obscurit?©".

Well I finally made the switch. I uninstalled v1.4.1, then reinstalled it in a unique folder (Celestia v1.4.1)... and then installed v1.5.0 (same folder naming convention). I should also note that I allowed Windows to ONLY associate the .cel and .celx extensions to the v1.5.0 version. 
Both versions run fine, concurrently even! 
Makes for some interesting comparisons!
What a difference! I like the change overall in star appearance, I noticed one such major difference (for example) when viewing a class M0III star in one of my scripts. The new galaxy renderings are beautiful! I love the hires textures, especially of the moon, except on my pc with its limited graphics memory Celestia slows to a crawl.
Time for a new graphics card.
I also see that I have to review the use of markers and modify my scripts, as one in particular has a blue square showing as a filled solid square (v1.4.1 it isn't). Another of my scripts, which utilizes a specific date, is showing clouds on Earth out of sync... just like it did in v1.4.1.
Despite these observations, I think it's great! You folks have done a wonderful job. Now... I'm going to have to go and explore all over again! Thank you all!
